Productive Performance Appraisals is a 155 page, softbound book.  It is a twelve chapters in length, organized into 4 sections, and is preceded by a preface and followed by an index and brief author biographies.

Whether you are new to the supervisory ranks or a seasoned manager and facilitator of the personal and professional development of others, this book will represent a valuable addition to your quick reference library.  Paul Falcone and Randi Sachs have done a wonderful job of providing a comprehensive guide to the performance appraisal process.  At a cost of $10 (US), I would even recommend this book to those being evaluated, to better prepare all for the process and their personal and professional growth within any organization.  In fact, it would be difficult for me to think of any individual who would fail to benefit from reading this book – perhaps in an afternoon.

Productive Performance Appraisals is rich with content, does not contain any “filler,” and provides many role-playing exercises to illustrate a variety of fact patterns – from the rising star to the problem child within the organization.  This book was a pleasure to read and I give it my highest possible recommendation!
